A Fund for Educating Young Women
Especial Cor STATE CHROSICLE.1

Especial Cor. STATE CHRONICLE1
GREENSBORO, n. c., Feb. 8, 1SS7.-We
shall feel ourselves fortunate if granted a
short space in your excellent paper, that
We may say word to the public with
reference to the Lucy McGee Fund
Though its object and meaning are known
to number of your readers we are conf
dent that there are many not yet acquaint
ed with the matter, who only need to be
to feel and manifest interest.
The subject should be one of general in
terest and we make bold to ask the inser-
ton of this letter giving all the facts At
the meeting of the Alumnae Association
of Greensboro Female College in May 'S5,
1t was determined that its first work
should be the establishing of a fund to be
used in the education of INDECENT young
women. This fund is to perpetuate the
memory of the late Mrs Lucy McGee
Jones wife of Rev. I. NJ. Jones, a woman
who gave the best years of her life to the
education of the women OF the South.
There is nothing for US to say Of such
life as hers, but ''give her the fruit of her
hands and let her own words praise her. p"
If in the selection of a memorial she had
been permitted to speak we think this
would have been her choice.
1t was found that the interest on three
thousand dollars would be sufficient
sum to give one young lady at College
yearly, English and one. extra, and this
sum was determined npon as the nucleus
at least of a larger fund. A committee
was appointed to Recommend a plan for
raising this amount and their report in
May SO was about as follows: To have
several hundred pamphlets printed, stat
ing ali the facts relative to the fund and
let one of these, with blank promise of
1>a \
thus make agents all over the State
This blank was to be filed out and sent to
Miss De Lette Alderman, Greensboro, n.
c. treasurer of the fund. This plan was
accepted by the Association and com
mittee appointed to put it into execution.
The practical work began about three
months ago when Mrs Wexford Reed (nee
McGee) gave as the first donation seventy
five ($75.OO dollars. Since that time there
have been many responses, the amounts
subscribed ranging from five to one hun
dred dollars, and at the present writing
the total amount is four hundred and
fifteen dollars, and we feel sure we have
every cause to say success is insured.
None of the donations are paid of course
till the entire sum is subscribed and we
are therefore anxious that all name the
amount of Their donation as early as Dos
sibe.
1t has been supposed by some that the
fund was to be the work exclusively of
the Alumnae of the College, and we wish
to correct the impression. Several friends
have already given US their names as sub
scribers. and all who desire its establish
ment are earnestly solicited to contribute,
for it is a cause in which all may be equal
ly interested.
Miss Lillian Arnold, or Miss De Lette
Alderman will furnish blanks of promise
and all information desired.

Sound the Alarm.

Words or Weapons.
The number of actual Christians in
the world is so infinitely small when
placed over against the vast unbe-
lieving and heather population that
they are but "dust in the balances"
1t is question if there is a single
town or village in this favored land
where the number of Christians who
are actually living and testifying for
Christ is equal to the number of I'M
believers and dead Journalists. Chris
tianity is nearly nineteen centuries
old and there are more unconverted
people in the world today than when
Paul first began to preach to the Gen
tiles. Turn the statistics of the
worlds population and the church's
living membership as we may, we
are confronted with the awful fact
that Christianity isnot only not keep
ing pace with the worlds population
but we are year by year falling be-
hind. And yet we are comfortable
and practically unconcerned. Almost
nobody isalarmed or concerned. The
church is asleep or idle or Indifferent.
We are spending much time in idle,
if not wicked, speculation concerning
the possibilities of the salvation ofthe
heather after death by some other
gospel, instead of bending all our en-
ergies and powers, human and divine,
to secure the conversion of men dur
ing the life that now is. We are
crowding our Christian people into
large and plethoric churches instead
of planting colonies of active, testify
ing Christians in every waste and
neglected place in the world. Our
churches are crowded and huddled
together in the uptown and wealthy
sections of the cities instead of being
planted among the denser popula-
lions of the poor and middle class of
people; we are burying our wealth
in the napkin of great fashionable
church building instead of building
and furnishing hundreds of spacious
and practical Westinghouse where
the people might and would come to
hear the gospel gladly. We are
cultivating the avenues and boule-
wards, and neglecting the highways
and hedges. We are preaching to
those who are rich and increased in
goods, who will not hear us because
of the love Of the world, while we are
neglecting the poor. The enemy is
working day and night, while we are
opening our houses of worship for the
preaching of Gods word scarce more
than once week. We are saying to
ourselves, "peace, peacew when
there is no peace and are crying out
"for a little more slumber and little
more folding of the hands to Sleep

ONE alta TIME.

One step at time, aud that vel! placed,
We reach the grandest height;
One stroke at time, earth's hidden stores
Will slowly come to light:
One seed at time, and the forest grows
One drop at time, and the river flows
Into the boundless sea.
One word at time, and the greatest book
Is written and is read;
One stone at a time, and the palace rears
Aloft its stately head;
One blow at time, and the trees cleft
through,
And city will stand where the forest grew
A few short years before.
One foe at a time, and he subdued:
And the conflict will be won;
One grain at a time, and the sand of life
Will slowly all be run;
One minute, another, the hours fly;
One day at time our lives speed by
Into eternity.
One grain Of knowledge, and that well
stored,
Another and more on them,
And as time rolls on your mind will shine
With many garnered gem
OF thought and wisdom. And time will
tell,
"One thing at time, and that done well"
Is wisdom's proven rule.
